Meet Transitime

Swiftly is the creator of Transitime, the world's most advanced passenger information system. Transitime monitors the real-time and historical movements of your vehicles to predict arrival and departure times more accurately than existing systems. Transitime is also an open data platform and can provide transit agencies with useful management tools. Swiftly has already deployed Transitime for many agencies, small and large, and can deploy the system for new agencies within weeks at a fraction of the cost of traditional passenger information systems.

Real-time schedule adherence. Red circles are vehicles running early, yellow circles are vehicles running late, and green circles are vehicles that are on-time. The larger the circle, the more early or late the vehicle is.

Low Cost & Rapid Deployment

Swiftly can deploy Transitime for your agency within weeks at a fraction of the cost of traditional passenger information systems. Swiftly has already deployed Transitime for many agencies, both large and small.

Supports Any GPS System

Transitime is designed to support any GPS system. If you already have GPS trackers on your vehicles, Transitime can seamlessly integrate with your existing system. If you need new GPS hardware, Transitime can bring you online with low cost trackers that connect with your vehicle diagnostic port as a power source. Installation can be completed in less than five minutes. This uniquely simple setup drastically reduces costs and speeds up implementation.

More Accurate Passenger information

The Swiftly team has deployed real-time information systems at over 100 transit agencies. This extensive experience led to the creation of Transitime, a next generation real-time information system that leverages sophisticated algorithms and big data to deliver the most accurate predictions the industry has ever seen.

This chart demonstrates the prediction accuracy of Swiftly Transitime relative to current systems. The study reviewed the accuracy of several hundred million transit predictions. The x-axis displays the time to destination (i.e. how far away the vehicle is from the current stop you are at). The y-axis displays prediction accuracy.

Advanced Reporting

Transitime is a highly reliable and accurate system that collects and analyzes vehicle movement data to help you better understand your system’s performance. You can easily view information that has previously been difficult to collect, such as on-time performance, historical AVL reports, and more.

View your system’s on-time performance by route so that you can quickly determine which routes and performing well and which ones are not. Yellow represents early arrivals, red represents late arrivals, and green represents on time arrivals. This chart demonstrates what percentage of the time vehicles arrive early, late, or on-time relative to the published schedule for each route.

Open Data

Your riders already use applications such as Google Maps to plan their trips online. Swiftly provides an open-data interface that other applications, including Google Maps, can access. The data is made available in GTFS-realtime, JSON, and XML feeds.

Discussion Group

As the creators of Transitime, we have big plans for the future. We have created a solid foundation that we will continue to build upon, but we are always looking to work with transit agencies to expand and improve the system. If you would like to participate in the discussion of Transitime and real-time information, we would love to talk with you.
